An Answer Unasked For.

We are III receipt Of the following com
munication from Fort Benton, with the
request that we publish the same.
A certain young man of Benton, made
the remark after the last reception given
by the Knights in that place, that there
were no ladies present We wish to in
form him that he is simply mistaken:
there were ladies present of the finest lin
cage: ladies Of education and refinement;
moreover ladies who have inherited place
in the best of society. However we ex-
honorate the young scion of Aesculopius,
as his associations with the ignorant has
taught him that in Fort Benton at least,
dollars make ladies'

Winter in Northern Montana.

Winter in Northern Montana
The blue skies and bracing atmosphere
Of 'dreary winter" in Northern Montana
will be quite revelation to, and is calcu-
lated to rouse enyious feelings in minds
of those less fortunate individuals who
live in lands where the sun is for weeks
together obscured. and where cherries
fogs and moisture prevail, causing utter
discomfort and real depression.
One day in those countries the rain de-
scends in torrents; then for a change there
is hail and a promise of snow, and just as
the unfortunate people are hoping for the
best from the glimpses of a December
sum- a hurricane sweeps over the devasted
land and their cities are shrowded in a
fog which makes everything filthy. Mean
while the dwellers in this favored region.
are basking under skies 50 delightful, that
we become almost enthusiastic over their
charms. Here we have a country not
merely inhabitable, but actually enjoyable.
The weather it is true. is old,-sometime
very cold, but the air is dry and bracing,
and the sun shines brightly, and provided
you don't mind more or less snow, Of the
dry powdery kind which is found only in
the higher attitudes. climbing the plat
eaus is not only possible, but when indulg-
ed in is most enjoyable The air is clear be

snow flakes and is lying under foot, in
stead Of obscuring the view of the pano-
rama around. Thus it is. the landscapes
which are, as often as not, hidden behind
a veil in summer, are in winter spread be-
fore the climber with clearness which
those who only climb in summer and
autumn have no idea. From the tops Of
the p1ateaus of Sand Coulee and Cotton
wood may be traced a landscape which for
beauty of its kind can seldom be surpassed.
The mountain chains, from the far distant
Rockies in the northwest to those in our
own near neighborhood-th Belt and
Highwood ranges, stand up in bold relief,
against a sky Of the most perfect and deli
cate blue. and when the shades Of evening
begin to darken the coulees below, the
mountain ranges in their snowy covering,
become glorious in the refulgence
of the setting sun, while the upland prai-
Ties and the coulees all shroWded alike in
their white mantle possesses a beauty that
dwells with strange persistence in the
minds of those who have once gazed upon
the scene.
dry cold valleys and snow covered noun
tains in which the invalid is directly inter
ested. Of late years the theories and prac
Iice of physicians regarding lung diseases
have undergone complete change. At
one time warm climate was the uniyer
sal remedy. It is now found that provid-
ed the air is dry and still, high attitudes
are as effective in checking the malady
and even curing it. What is more, the
bracing air revives the blood, while the
relaxing atmosphere Of the southern low
lands acts preiudicially on constitution
in need Of a stimulus: the mountain air
pure, full Of ozone. and free from every
germ, acts as a charm. The patient revels
in sunlight more intense than the valleys
enjoy, while the atmosphere is infinitely
drier than at lower elevations.
